neat idea, serious logistical and legal issues (as have been pointed out). The MOOP issue can be beaten with enough barrier material (2-3 tarp or billboard vinyl layers say covering your entire area, with a large carpeted zone on top of that). The Health Dept. issue is trickier. I imagine even foot ...

Don't be silly JK, they don't make jeans for germs! In my college Microbiology class, the culture I took off a pair of my jeans was by far the worst, and when my Professor looked at it under the microscope, immediately disposed of the tray and told me not to do that again...the culture from my dorm...

I got to speak to Larry (well, actually I answered a question). Jellyfish and his U-Me crew got invited to an Artist's party, but we showed up on the wrong day. Apparently the Minions were elsewhere, because we strolled up to the inner sanctum and chatted briefly with him. He thought my spacesuit co...

yes, I second the thanks for the link... Elliot, I am considering changing the gearing somewhere...about 1/2 speed (and double the torque) sounds good. I think another issue was the engine not getting enough air. Originally I had a "snorkle" that was a 4" dryer hose attached via a 1&q...

gas golf carts cannot carry much extra weight for long, especially in the deeper dune areas. I added 2 seats to my 1985 EZ-GO, 2 deep cycle batteries with a large solar cell, and various other light weight decorations (but it all adds up quick!). Fully loaded, I could go for maybe 30 minutes before ...

there was a plastic pyramid covered with paper money a few years back...only the large denomination bills got stolen, which suggests something. I was amazed any of it survived...(no I did not take any) never heard of lighting theft...even my easily stolen solar yard lights have survived for many yea...

Damn you Jelly! The math is making my head want to explode....yet, like watching a train wreck I cannot avoid this question now - one way to approach the answer would be to write a program to simulate say, 1,000,000 trials, then average the numbers of turns each of those 1,000,000 trials took....

...here is a kind of Phish camp I would stop by and visit for a while; projection screen showing videos of either Phish concerts or psychadelic/fractal screen saver with the music. Large dance area illuminated with UV flood lights, with outer areas filled with mini tramps and hulu-hoops (all that gl...

...Here's a math quiz for all: If the 10 panel spinning "wheel" is truly random and the redundant letters light both (for example, landing on an "O" would light that letter in both the words "Georgie" and "Boy", what is the average number of spins it would ta...

...so what would a Phish camp consist of? A speaker stack and an Ipod? A Shake-Down Street with gifts of cheese sandwiches and t-shirts? Trey as Mayor? The concept seems vague and unworkable as a registered theme camp. Now, if you and some friends want to listen to Phish on your boombox while sittin...

...apparently it was also determined through trial and error that the pulse works good during the day (requires ~20 Volunteers to work), but does not work during the night (safety reasons). So, if <20 Volunteers, or night, and no pulse. I also liked the pulse. Much less stress on Driver and Vehicle.

"throwing minor hissy fits" sounds like slander to me. Maybe one should not start throwing stones if one does not want to be in a rock fight. Simon doesn't owe you anything, least of all answers. If you want something from him, you might consider why he should bother with you, except as en...

From the 2010 survival guide: SOUND: Large-scale Sound Art Zones are located along the streets of 2 and 10 o'clock at the far ends of our settlements. Within the city the maximum power amplification is 300 watts, producing no more than 90 decibels at 20 feet. Be thoughtful of your neighbors. If a p...

...is not Boobie Bar to be judged, I think. Rather, to hold court for the Judging of others...and a fine Court it would make (already being a Civic Events Center of sorts with hosting the B.E.D.) In Apokiliptika, there is no Judging. Just punishments. And Doom. Lots of Doom. However, the Raiders, M....

if you cannot afford a decent golf cart, and cannot spend all week fixing a crappy one, just use your Yukon (assuming you get the DMV handicapped placard). Try to decorate it a bit if you can. Is it white? If so, it will fit right in as-is....

... I had my ... Kodak ... tagged by the greeter, it took all of 2 minutes.... If BRCLLC were serious about the "tag every camera" policy, I think they would have the greeters ask everyone "Do you have a camera?" because I think almost everyone coming to BRC does have a camera (...
